art workshops or using your creative power to get yourself to europe

For any local friends and family with kids ages 4 - 9 check out the art workshops Megan is offering in August. (Some info deleted from flyer since it's being posted on the blog)

Megan is determined to get herself to Europe (and help pay for college) so she is using her artistic talents to help her do that.  I'm proud of her for figuring out a way to make money and I think it is a brilliant use of her talent and skills.


If anyone is interested in the workshops leave a comment here and I'll have her get back to you.  Also, if you know others that may be interested please feel free to pass the info along.

a long night, an even longer day

The girls and I packed up the suburban this morning around midnight and hauled ourselves to the movie theater to get in line for the final installment of Harry Potter.  

We hung out in the back of the car looking all sketchy while we sat in the parking lot until about 1:15am.  We then went into the theater to find out from a manager where our line would be lining up.

The picture below is our no nose tribute to the dark wizard himself...Voldy.

Once we knew were to line up & a few more kids showed up they all hunkered down on the cold hard cement to talk about Harry Potter into the wee hours of the morning.  I, not being willing to sleep on cement, took to the comfort (haha) of my suburban.

After my two and a half hours of sleep (honestly, I'm too old for this) I awoke to a sidewalk full of slumbering kids.  I'm not sure how they could sleep...it was cold and wet.  The world decided to send rain today (or maybe it's dementors)

I left them to sleep for 20 minutes while I ran to pick up cereal and milk.  They are currently all up, enjoying breakfast and chatting with all the other Harry Potter crazies that joined the lines while we slept.

We'll see how the next 14 hours go.  I'm hoping that we'll be awake when the movie actually starts.
